Curved, oval-sectioned rod. The antler has been softened and moulded by the method discussed by MacGregor (1985, 63-5). Bracelets made in this way have the ends held together by bronze or silver tubes, 42 are known from Lankhills (MacGregor 1985, 112-3). The internal diameter of this piece is rather large for a bracelet so it may have been intended to be worn as a necklace or alternatively, the curve of the bracelet may have opened as the anter tried to regain its original form (pers comm Arthur MacGregor). Condition: broken at both ends.
